Campbell Glen Love Is A Lonesome River Lyrics

Love Is A Lonesome River Lyrics

(from the album 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix')

 (as recorded by Glen Campbell)

 

 On a street in some big city

 Lives the girl I love so well

 She left me for another

 Now there's nothing much to tell

 

 As I try to fit my life

 In a different mold I find

 That love is a lonesome river

 Running through a lonesome mind

 

 I took a plane to back when

 I was just a child at play

 But time has sure changed this old town

 It's not the same today

 

 As I try to meet old friends

 None do I find

 Cause love is a lonesome river

 Running through a lonesome mind

  

 (Musical break)

 

 There's trees along this river

 That are overgrown with vines

 There's pools along this river

 Where the sun will never shine

 

 As I look into my heart

 And count my loss I find

 That love is a lonesome river

 Running through a lonesome mind

 

 Yes, love is a lonesome river

 Running through a lonesome mind
